Falcons 1970 prospects hinge on youth and health
The Atlanta Falcons enter their second season under Norm Van Brocklin, aiming to rise from mid table to among the league’s top teams. Injuries hampered stars last year, but linchpins like Nobis, Berry, and Johnson return as the club leans on a young core, with running backs accounting for most depth and a defense featuring Humphrey, Zook, and Reaves gaining respect. The team faces depth gaps at center and in the secondary, while Wages serves in the Army and newcomer Malone pushes for backup RB duties.
